Journey to the Void News

[p]Congrats to Pogolo for being the fastest at beating the demo (for now!) and to all other players. We'll be contacting the five speedrun winners in our Discord, and we'll add the 10 giveaway winners on Steam to send them the key.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Please accept Drone00's friend request.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]It's been exciting to see players compete for the top spots on the leaderboards, and we're heartened to know that the game is fun and will only get better with player feedback and suggestions for its January release.[/p]

[p]To celebrate, we’re hosting a special event for Journey to the Void![/p][p][/p][h2]New Speedrun Leaderboard[/h2][p]If you launch the demo, you’ll notice a brand-new section: Speedrun Mode. We’ll be collecting the best completion times across the three difficulties (Beginner, Normal, and Hardcore).[/p][p][/p][p]At the end of Steam Next Fest, the top five players of the Normal difficulty will each receive a free full game key once the game is released in January 2026 (of course, our developers don't count! Drone00, I'm talking to you!).[/p][p][/p][h2]Random Giveaway [/h2][p]And don’t worry if speedrunning isn’t your thing: we’ll also randomly select ten players from everyone who tried the demo and gift them a key as well. To be eligible for the Random Giveaway, you must have killed at least 50 enemies. You can check your kill stats on the Enemies Slayed Leaderboard.[/p][p][/p][h2]Rules[/h2][p]We will take a screenshot of the leaderboard at 13:00 GMT+2 on 21st October. Records achieved after that deadline will not be counted.[/p][p][/p][p]Happy speedrunning to everyone![/p]

[p]Hello everyone![/p][p]We are super excited to share with you the new update of the "Journey to the Void" demo! We have carefully read all your feedback, and we can proudly say that this update is the result of your contribution![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We've collected all the valuable feedback we've received from players and improved the gameplay experience. We've revamped the enemy drop system, tied some fights to the selected background to avoid invincible fights, balanced the game's difficulty by tweaking some enemy values, added tooltips to many elements that didn't have them, and rebalanced some choices in specific punishment events.[/p][p][/p][p]There are still tons of elements we're refining for the game's release in January, but to explore them all and get a thorough, comprehensive look at the game, we need your feedback. If you play the demo, please leave a review on Steam! Additionally, our Discord server is open to everyone and has dedicated channels for discussing strategies and reporting feedback from your experience.[/p][p][/p][p]We can't wait to hear what you have to say about this version, into which we've poured all our sweat and expertise.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for your time, and have a good Journey![/p][p][/p]

[p]We've dedicated significant effort to optimizing the game, ensuring a smooth and immersive experience on Valve's portable powerhouse. Get ready to explore the void wherever you go![/p][p][/p][p]Journey to the Void was not merely adapted for Steam Deck; it was designed from the ground up with Valve's handheld platform in mind. Our primary goal is to ensure a fluid, responsive, and above all, enjoyable gaming experience for all players, wherever they may be.[/p][p][/p][p]On-screen glyphs will help you to learn the commands in a couple of fights easily. We were super happy during the playtest to see how easily players got confident with the game![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]With Journey to the Void on Steam Deck, performance is paramount. You can effortlessly enjoy the game at 60 or even 90 frames per second on the OLED version, ensuring a super smooth experience. [/p][p][/p][p]For those looking to extend battery life, especially during travel, our in-game options allow you to cap the frame rate at 30 FPS, offering significant power savings without sacrificing fun. But to be honest, we run the game at Svilupparty for seven hours at 90 fps without charging the deck![/p][p]
